Those photos are well under way and last year’s trip going online! At the moment it is France. All posts are being backdated to the actual day on which the day’s journey took place: I am working from June forward. If you haven’t already done so, to keep in touch with these updates sign in […]
I have just spent a couple of days editing some of the earlier posts and have now commenced going back through the French part of our canal/river journey from last year.
Back in Bali once more, it was a lovely morning wakeup call for those still slumbering. An earthquake of several seconds rolled and rumbled its way through the land just minutes ago.
We depart Lombok for Bali later this morning.
After a delightful two days enjoying the atmosphere of Gili Air, Bob and I are off to Lombok later today.
Bob and I travelled to Padangbai and caught Eka Jaya 23 to Bali Air yesterday. A great ride in the largest of the fast ferries – click the link for details. www.gilitickets.com/fastboat/eka-jaya-19 Found fantastic accomodation at Ky Gunaya Villa. Brand new and beautifully set up. Large rooms cater for bigger families and the price is […]
We went on a motor to Nungnung Falls up in the mountains yesterday. So totally worthwhile. On arrival a seemingly neverending run of stairs led downward. Moss, lichen, ferns in all shades of deep vibrant greens, with an occasional splash of red creating a break. Stop a while to take in the beauty: peace only broken […]
Spending the next day with a friend at their villa just out of Ubud. Peaceful, relaxing as we listen to birdsong and the river racing below.
It was a short trip to Sanur. A beach market wandered through – the same old, same old. It is from here that a number of ferries depart for the various nearby islands. After picking up the bow line, into the shore they reversed. From our readings and observation, Scoot Fast Cruises appear to be the […]
Heading toward Uluwatu Temple today, Bob found his favourite shop, the Blue Chateau – otherwise known as Carrefour. Thankfully, import duties in Indonesia are such that we came out empty handed! The temple itself is in a beautiful setting. As a sign of respect, one must don a wrap. Beware, the unaware female tourist!!!! Having entered […]
All the times we have visited Bali have seen us enjoying days of relaxing down time. In a first, Bob and I are here for two full months: a time in which we can alternate full on exploration with days of relaxation. Today was a day of action. Bob always takes pleasure in circumnavigating the […]
Well, we’ve done it!! Still spending practically six months of the year in sunny Australia, it seemed a good idea to make better utilisation of the time. Bob has spent hours each day on the computer and internet searching for possibilities, and we have travelled kilometres to inspect. Yesterday we found the one van that ticked […]
Yesterday I commenced the slow process of editing the images from last year. Here is a sneak peak from our day in Cochem, Germany
Balmy days and beach wanderings. Tiny crabs scuttling and scurrying whilst cockles are rapidly burrowing. Lucia received quite a shock upon digging a spot where she espied the bubbles emitted by what she believed to be a cockle hiding. A loud “Ouch” and tears ensued. A tiny finger had been nipped: a crab at work or […]
We arrived in Peregian Beach last Sunday. Beautiful warmth with that touch of humidity…. Damian, Lucia and Arlo met us at our accommodation: a quick bite at a fantastic pizza place that serves gluten free, then into the car we piled and up to Noosa with their boat. What a beautiful afternoon we all had […]
We are readying for our departure to Brisbane.
The long awaited photos have arrived. Many thanks go to my friend and photographer, Louise Bagger. Here is a glimpse of our day.
On an afternoon hike, a rustle in the grass, a flash of red, and off it slithered! A red belly, I believe!!!!!!
